The [[IBM]] '''Linux Technology Center''' ('''LTC''') is an organization focused on development for the [[Linux kernel]] and related [[open-source software]] projects. In 1999, IBM created the LTC to combine its software developers interested in Linux and other open-source software into a single organization. Much of the LTC's early effort was focused on making "all of its server platforms Linux friendly."<ref>http://linuxgazette.net/issue59/correa2.html</ref> The LTC collaborated with the Linux community to make Linux run optimally on processor architectures such as [[x86]], [[Mainframe computer|mainframe]], and [[Power Architecture|Power]]. In recent years, the focus of the LTC has expanded to include several other open source initiatives.

==Details==

Developers in the LTC contribute to various open-source projects such as:
